Patient's question:
09 year onset of red burning sensation, past treatment and effectiveness: What kind of assistance is needed after treatment: I am currently using Pramesone Clotrimazole, changing one a day, can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis is an infection caused by fungi of the Candida genus. Commonly used are 1% to 2% bifonazole, miconazole, clotrimazole, or ketoconazole creams, applied locally 1 to 2 times daily, and continued for 1 week after the symptoms subside. For persistent cases, itraconazole or terbinafine can be taken orally. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
